We hardly saw our server & the food was about average. Queso dip was just melted Velveeta. Disappointed.

I am always reluctant to try new food, because It comes with almost certain disappointment. That was not the case at all today when I chose to be spontaneous and eat lunch at Carmela’s. This is the best Mexican food that I have had in my life (a statement I don’t make lightly). Our server, Victor, was beyond friendly. The drinks were affordable and strong, exactly how I like it. Everything was a 5/5. Delicious, affordable, and incredibly recommendable. Thank you so much to the owners for opening such an amazing establishment. I’m you’re #1 fan

I had tacos. The chorizo, asada and, al pastor. Not too bad for this area. The chips were homemade and the salsa wasn't bad.

Love this place. Food is good and comes out quickly. Only reason it’s not a five star is I used to live in Southern California so everything in my mind is compared to there. Also I they had Coke instead of Pepsi. We like their shredded chicken burrito and their shredded beef sopes.

Sit down restaurant with a parking lot, full bar, tables and seating booths. Decent decor, music, lighting, food and windows. Purpose built with some wear showing on fabric seats. Friendly and prompt service, moderate food and paper bill preparation time at midday with two other tables seated at the time.Chips and two sauces, red hot and red chunky brought promptly. Tortilla chips large and distinctly home made, sauces in syrup containers with two plastic bowls with very good flavor.Menu extensive with ala carte and combos. We ordered taco salad and an enchilada chili relleno combo with bean choice black, good garnish but, no crema or avocado. Taco salad had a good amount of very good flavor meat and included tomato, avocado and crema. Good mexican cheese with relleno made with poblano pepper and enchilada with Mexican cheese. We used the sauces on our food and we finished it all and we were full.

I met a friend for taco tuesday. It was a busy night So it did take a minute for us to get a drink. But the server before she even greeted us brought us out water and chips. So they knew that we were there. After we were greeted we had great service. The food was excellent, And the drinks were made perfectly.

Carmelas is a great value for your money. Huge portions for a good price. The blackberry margaritas are delicious and the best Huachuca anywhere. The tortilla soup is also one of my favorites. I have been eating here for years and poor Carmela has been putting up with me and my friends antics with patience and great service for so long. Thanks Carmella, you are the hardest working woman in the Mexican restaurant biz for sure and deserve all the best!

The meat was so dry it was not edible. Two meals was over $45. I was very disappointed in this place.
